Hi,

In my opinion, we should prefer a pair of surfing shoes while surfing for avoiding the risk.

According to me, running shoes are not good for surfing, it may cause an accident.

So I always wore surfing shoes while surfing they are not slipy.

I used to use a pair like these for fishing on slippery rocks and they would work great to grip and protect your feet but probably they would destroy your board https://www.hanapaafishing.com/products/hp-spike-tabis
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

I can't suggest any running shoes since I'm not a runner but you can try google " best light weighted running shoes " or ask on a runner's forum not a surfer's forum, there should be many choices there.

I think running shoes would not be comfortable for you while you are surfing. i tried reef booties and these are comfortable for me while i was surfing. i would suggest one more website where many of surfing shoes are available there
